Allampalli The case describes how Singapore Airlines (SIA) evolved from a fl edging player in the 1960s into an industry leader. In the process, SIA rewrote the rules for competition and earned accolades for its excellent aviation record, young fl eet of planes and a reputation for delighting customers. Bilateral air service agreements negotiated between individual nations limited the routes of a given airlines and hence the airlines’s growth. The global airlines industry responded to this challenge with a mix of acquisition, strategic alliances (for example, the STAR alliance) and related diversifi cation strategies. But would these strategies be sustainable in the near future for SIA? What course of action should SIA undertake? Associate Professor Toh Thian Ser and D. G. Allampalli of The Asian Business Case Centre prepared this case. The case is based on public sources.

  • Analysis of the Effects of Air Transport Liberalisation on the Domestic Market in Japan
    Chikage Miyoshi Analysis Of The Effects Of Air Transport Liberalisation On The Domestic Market In Japan COLLEGE OF AERONAUTICS PhD Thesis COLLEGE OF AERONAUTICS PhD Thesis Academic year 2006-2007 Chikage Miyoshi Analysis of the effects of air transport liberalisation on the domestic market in Japan Supervisor: Dr. G. Williams May 2007 This thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy © Cranfield University 2007. All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced without the written permission of the copyright owner Abstract This study aims to demonstrate the different experiences in the Japanese domestic air transport market compared to those of the intra-EU market as a result of liberalisation along with the Slot allocations from 1997 to 2005 at Haneda (Tokyo international) airport and to identify the constraints for air transport liberalisation in Japan. The main contribution of this study is the identification of the structure of deregulated air transport market during the process of liberalisation using qualitative and quantitative techniques and the provision of an analytical approach to explain the constraints for liberalisation. Moreover, this research is considered original because the results of air transport liberalisation in Japan are verified and confirmed by Structural Equation Modelling, demonstrating the importance of each factor which affects the market. The Tokyo domestic routes were investigated as a major market in Japan in order to analyse the effects of liberalisation of air transport. The Tokyo routes market has seven prominent characteristics as follows: (1) high volume of demand, (2) influence of slots, (3) different features of each market category, (4) relatively low load factors, (5) significant market seasonality, (6) competition with high speed rail, and (7) high fares in the market.

  • (VWP) Carriers
    Visa Waiver Program (VWP) Signatory Carriers February 1, 2020 In order to facilitate the arrival of Visa Waiver Program (VWP) passengers, carriers need to be signatory to a current agreement with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). A carrier is required to be signatory to an agreement in order to transport aliens seeking admission as nonimmigrant visitors under the VWP (Title 8, U.S.C. § 1187(a)(5). The carriers listed below are currently signatory to the VWP and can transport passengers under the program. The date indicates the expiration of the current signed agreement. Agreements are valid for 7 years. If you transport VWP passengers and are not a signatory carrier, fines will be levied.

  • Airlines' Competitive Positioning Using Multiple
    AIRLINES’ COMPETITIVE POSITIONING USING MULTIPLE CORRESPONDENCE CLUSTER ANALYSIS Chieh-Hua WEN Professor Department of Transportation Technology and Management Feng Chia University 100 Wenhwa Road, Seatwen, Taichung 40724, Taiwan Phone: +886-4-24517250 ext. 4679 Fax: +886-4-24520678 E-mail: [email protected] Wei-Ying CHEN Graduate Student Institute of Traffic and Transportation National Chiao Tung University 4F, 114 Chung Hsiao W. Road, Sec. 1, Taipei 10012, Taiwan E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The recent recession of the world economy has substantially decreased the number of international air travellers and has forced many airline companies to cease business operations. Airline companies can use market positioning to identify major strengths and weaknesses within their services. This paper integrates multiple correspondence analysis with cluster analysis to study airline positioning. The multiple correspondence analysis illustrates the relative positions of airlines, service attributes, and travellers’ characteristics in a perceptual map. The cluster analysis clearly identifies groups of airlines that compete on particular service attributes associated with these groups. This study empirically examines the international airlines serving the Taipei-Tokyo and Taipei-Osaka routes and collects data from air travellers with diverse cultural backgrounds. The competitive positions of five airlines can be shown on a two-dimensional map. Two Japanese carriers, Japan Asia and Air Nippon Airways, are close to each other on the perceptual map; these companies mostly attract Japanese, male, high-income, and business travellers. Another pair of competitors includes Eva and Cathay Pacific Airways; most of their customers are Taiwanese, female, middle- income, and non-business travellers. China Airlines has a unique position on the map, because it has set a lower ticket price than other airlines; its core customers are low-income travellers.
